If you use the port, you need to take action if you want to /disable/ the CPU-specific optimizations, which are all used by default (and auto-detected/disabled as appropriate by the mplayer build procedure). Did you add: options CPU_ENABLE_SSE to your kernel config? This apparently helps - and it's needed for SSE. My PIII 600Mhz laptop plays SDL @ ~35% CPU fullscreen, although I prefer DGA, which gives better results (sharper images, better motion) and, using 25% CPU for fullscreen, allows you to usefully post-process frames with your excess CPU too. When I run mplayer, it says: MPlayer 0.60-2.95.3 (C) 2000-2002 Arpad Gereoffy (see DOCS!)
